Invitation

The parties address is at the original, first opened McDonalds, and the date is placed 100 years away from the original date that it was opened. The time is at 2:07 because it took 2.7 million dollars to sell the McDonald's from the brothers to Ray. 

Guest List:
1. Ray Kroc- As one of the leads of McDonald's and the movie, Ray is the person who franchised and branched out the name of this famous fast food chain. Hearing his input on how McDonalds has grown in 100 years is something very insightful, as well as the relationship between him and the McDonald brothers may lead to a bit of drama.

2 and 3. Richard and Maurice McDonald- The original founders of McDonalds must be present at this event. They can tell interesting stories about the creation of McDonalds and all of their meticulous choices as to how it was created. It would also be interesting to see their reaction to the current way of making burgers versus their picky burger-making of the past. Their reaction with Ray would also create a fun bit of table drama.

4. John Lee Hancock- As the director of the movie, Mr. John Hancock can see first hand what these people are like, and what the current relationship between Ray and the brothers is. He can also tell the men what his thought process was during the making of his movie, which will lead to an interesting topic of conversation.

5. Robert Siegel- As the writer of the movie, Mr. Siegel had to do most of the research of the story, and transport himself into the minds of the characters. He will be keen to this discussion. He can ask the men questions about how he interpreted them and if it was accurate. The men can answer back with their preferences, making for a good conversation.

6. Kayleigh Hughes- The writer of The Bustle's, "How Accurate is 'The Founder'? The True Facts About McDonald's Will Surprise You". As a writer for a website like, The Bustle, she will surely have lots of questions to ask the men about relationships and how they feel they were portrayed in the movies. Most of her essay was about the accuracy of the founder, so she could ask good questions about what the movie portrayed correctly and what they didn't. 

7. Michael Keaton- Michael Keaton is the actor that plays Ray in The Founder. He allowed himself to become Ray, and it would be a very cool topic to listen to between the two men as to his portrayal of Ray. This would also be a good topic of conversation for someone like Mrs. Kayleigh Hughes to hear and write about. 

8. Mrs. Lawson- Mrs. Lawson is very interested in any kind of history, and I am sure she will have some sharp questions to bring to the table. I also believe she will be a good mediator if the brothers and Ray begin to disagree. Her knowledge of the growth of teenage enterprise could be an interesting topic of conversation as to how McDonald's played a role in that.
